“Blade Runner 2049” director Denis Villeneuve didn’t want a polished science-fiction soundscape, but instead stressed the importance of nature and the elements to draw in the audience.

“We recorded organic and acoustic sources in the real world and then re-contextualized them to serve the story,” says supervising sound editor Mark Mangini.

Re-recording mixers Doug Hemphill and Ron Bartlett drove a focused and simplistic track that stripped sounds to their essence. “The desert walk is a perfect example of this,” says sound designer Theo Green. “It’s a study of silence and we sell it by layering melodic bell sounds that feel somewhat lonely, distant and spiritual against this beautiful orange backdrop.”

What does a fictional, post-apocalyptic future sound like? The Frame sat down with Theo Green to find out...

"This time around, director Denis Villeneuve was at the helm, and he called on sound editor Mark Mangini (who worked sound on "Max Max: Fury Road") and sound designer Theo Green to create a world inspired by the original film, but still completely new.

The film is among the favorites for the sound editing and mixing Oscars when the Academy Award nominations come out later this month.

Frame producer Michelle Lanz sat down with Mangini and Green at their studio to get the inside story on creating the soundscape of 'Blade Runner 2049.'"

This two part series takes a look at the intricate sound design by Theo Green for 'Blade Runner 2049.' From Bryan Abrams' piece "When you watch a film, what you see is limited to the size of your screen. When you listen to a film, however, the sound escapes those borders and fills your entire world."

Thank you to Brides for writing about the latest 'Bringing Up Bates' wedding!

"The beautiful bride wore a long-sleeve lace gown designed by Renee Miller, who also created wedding dresses for several of the married Duggars.

As per family tradition, Tori and Bobby's reception had no dancing or forms of entertainment. Instead, they celebrated their vows in true southern style with a baked potato bar, sweet tea, lemonade, and a lemon blueberry cake that Tori's aunt Kay made."

"But was Tori a bit of a rebel in her conservative family when it came to a musical choice? She reportedly walked down the aisle to Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years,” which flew in the face of the usual Bates’ family traditions."
